Q:

The salaries of A, B, and C are in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. The salary of B and C together is Rs. 6000. By what percent is the salary of C more than that of A?

A) 100 % B) 200%
C) 300% D) 600%

Answer:   B) 200%



Explanation:

Let the salaries of A, B, C be x, 2x and 3x respectively.

Then,2x + 3x = 6000  => x = 1200.

A's salary = Rs. 1200, B's salary = Rs. 2400, and Cs salary Rs. 3600.
Excess of C's salary over A's=[ (2400 /1200) x 100] = 200%.
